26 and Still Counting!!!

Well there is not much to say about me as a person, nor have I achieved something unique to showcase!  But I would like to just munch on people, events and thoughts which have significant impact on shaping and making me what I’m today.

First of all, I will always be debted to my parents who have brought to this world, held my hands when I feared to take a step, made sure that I reach out only for sane things in this world, showed unconditional love, stood by me in times of loneliness, helped me get good education, toiled throughout the years to make me study in prestigious institutions bearing the taunts of so called well-wishers. If not for their efforts and sacrifice, I’m sure; I would never be in a position to share this at all. No matter what level I rise tomorrow or what position I hold in near future, each and every credit goes to my parents.

I happened to start my infant days in far off place named Parushampura in Karnataka near the then Andhra Pradesh border. Being the first kid for my parents, was lucky to have 3 birthday albums as part of my birth anniversary celebrations, loved by all, pampered by all and was center of attraction for many years in the entire family.

Family moved to Davanagere and I spent some 21 odd years in this place. If I start penning down about everyone from whom I got inspired, learnt few things, made friends for life,on whom i had a little crush, with whom i had a short lived love, team which helped me win numerous football tournaments,who helped me get the first job offer, people who worked for me: to see me as VP of college, etc., it would become an encyclopedia of its own kind.

To Summarize, this place filled me with all those emotions which transformed me from being a mere living being to being human, made my life colorful with presence of wonderful friends, held me through good and bad times, helped me Learn the lessons of life in both ways(easy and hard),taught me the value of money and the way to earn it, yelled at me for not doing the obvious things, slapped me for being carried away, held my collar and pulled me out of danger which I was about to step into, explained that people who are meant to stay with you will stay forever no matter if you speak to them once in a day/week/month/year/decade, pointed and sorted out hypocrisy and genuine-ness,  made my veins strong for the tougher days ahead, taught me to speak out the truth even if the entire world is against it, consoled me saying; its okay to be all alone once in a while, Finally saw me grow from ‘being a kid next door’ to ‘a teen with vigor’ to ‘a youth with dreams’ and finally showing me way to ‘be a man with goals and milestones in my basket’

Now, when I’m about to mark my last bachelor birthday, I’m sure that there will be many who had wished me good health, prosperity, fun, happiness, any negative/positive wishes, no matter what your wishes says, I'm glad and grateful that I was able to be a part of your life big or small which in turn helped me shape myself; in my thoughts, in my actions i perform, in the way I see life, in the way I approach a crisis, or in simple terms: The way i lead my life.

I wish and hope that one day, I will be able to make you all proud for being a significant part of my life’s journey-Major or Minor.

Hope to meet you all once again, remember, “Life is short but we have lot of time”!

Syonara, Thank you ALL!!!

Rainbow of LOVE!

Well, its been years together, before I scribbled something out here on this space. In this gap I have changed a company, moved into a new place, got a set of new friends, had a hike in salary, my sister got into Ayurvedic Medicine; one of the most respected course for me, made sure that my dear leader Narendra Modi sits on the well-deserved PM’s chair and most importantly got engaged to my dear LOVE!

Between all these, I had almost forgotten that I used to write blogs. Take that as an effect of being so occupied in multiple things and setting some priority things in the right path.

But today, I have made up my mind, to spell few words in the name of my dear Life(read my would be wife).

For people who know me very closely, who have seen my journey/being part of it for a good 8-9 years of my life, may chew on their memories that, I had a not so happening crush adventure in +2, followed with an unfortunate end of budding relationship. They might have wished that I would have a happy ending in near future. Well sometimes, wishes of our well-wishers come TRUE.

Here I am, with the most beautiful thing that could ever happen to me, my friend, my guide, my life-line, my support, my motivator, my inspiration and my dearest, lovely, adorable Love.
It takes another 180 odd days for both of us to be together officially. Even at this moment as I write this up, she stays 356 Kms away from me, But I can still feel her breath and warmth of her love all over my heart.

It all started during the lovely winter season in the month of December when I first saw my Love walk into our office space along with her friends. She owned a personality of her own, not so mesmerizing, not so flashy, but enough to have a second look at her. I’m not the one who believes in love at first sight, but this time I lost it. Being in AC room with no windows, I could still feel the breeze whispering in my ears: “It’s Love”.

As days passed, I noticed that even her friends attract more audience. Whatever may be the reason, but I could never get time to measure her friends, as my she had somehow occupied my thoughts so immensely. Everything about my love was so special; the way she wore specs, the way those hairs used to pamper her cheeks, those matching ear rings, that smile which used to peep out now and then forming a dimple. 

For a month, I was just wishing to get a reason to be a friend or atleast have a friendly chat with her every day for 5 mins. Restlessness was creeping in.

Thanks to the quarterly team outing, my restlessness of not speaking to her was striked off. I was able to speak to her and by the end of that one day trip, was able to get a title of ‘Friend’ from her. Sometimes our wishes come true too J.

Almost, half year passed by with daily calls, pings, messages and multiple team breakfast, lunches, tea breaks etc.  By this time I was in better terms and was promoted from just friend to good friend or you can say Best friend. Good enough to have a cup of coffee in her house with sensible or stupid chats which took out countless hours from us.

It was that period of her life, where every parent will be looking for a prince, to get her princess married. I didn’t have enough courage to speak up to her about my feeling towards her which I had from day one. But I was sure that I have reached the ladies intuitiveness where they know/feel about things without saying a word. Each time guys profile came to her, I wished and cursed the guy to be the ugliest one and hoped that somehow she rejects the proposal. Finally my prayers were heard and I had influenced her intuitiveness so much that there was no need for a melodrama of proposal; just a phone call did it.

Well, after that letting know our parents about our love; their future daughter-in-law & Son-in-law was a cake walk for both of us. After being so long and so far with her, I must say, next to my mom and dad, a person who has influenced my growth, my success, my life, been in my life’s up’s and downs is SHE. Of course there are few freinds, better and best who have influenced my life, not taking anything back from them.

From being a best friend to the most loving person for me; From being a mother to her two little sisters to being a friend to her own mother; From being an awesome cook to being the one who loves getting fed by her mom’s hand; From being a most responsible person who knows the art of handling any critical situation to being a child who needs to be pampered; she has it all.

That’s what makes her special; my out of the world angel! I take pride in the fact that she is all mine for rest of my life. She is a precious soul, who brings life to my soul and gives a reason for me to stay and succeed.

Im sure, im going to get not so sweet scolding’s from her for writing this, but how can I not say anything about a person who means so much to me. I can deal with those not so sweet scolding’s for a day.

Rainbow of Love it is, which lightens up one’s life with multiple shades of emotions and smileys! All we can do is set ourselves free to enjoy every bit/every second/every moment of it. At the end of the day, LOVE is what keeps us happy.

I have found my RAINBOW of LOVE! One day, your life will be filled with colors of love, make sure that you set yourself free to enjoy it.
